Then I'll add another point of view, hoping that I'm not the only one: The issue for me was not that I expected a free update for iOS 7 or a universal app, but that pulling the old app AND replacing it by a paid app with the same name was very misleading. Please name it "Clear 2", "Clear HD" or "Clear+", so that customers have a chance to understand what happened. Not everyone reads blogs.
After updating to iOS 7 (and before learning of the drama surrounding Clear), I wanted to download Clear to my phone again and almost bought it by accident: after all, the icon, app name and app platform (iPhone) were the same, so I figured that the price still being displayed was an App Store bug.
It's not that I care about paying 'a cup of coffee' for an app _at all_, but this felt like a scam. OmniGroup handled this a little better with OmniFocus: They've also pulled the old version, but the new one looks different and is called OmniFocus 2.
